Drank numerous nights over a week. Yellow/gold in glass. Best second/third day. Delicious, rich & balanced, moderately dense on palate, and the weight evolved over several nights. Modest nose that grew more prominent. Yellow stone fruit, pear, apple, bit of citrus/lemon, honeyed finish, nicely balanced acid/sweetness, minerality. Not so much the spice mentioned in prior notes, though I get the idea. I liked it and appreciated it more and more with repeated tastings. Will see how other bottles develop, as it has evolved from 2015 notes.

This is delicious. Lovely golden color. This is a rich wine. Fairly viscous. Stone fruits, slate, a hint of petrol.

Young and very tight but showing plenty of promise. Citrus fruit, slate, and bit of red apple skin, but all felt tightly wound. Hold.

This was odd. Started off sweet and finished dry. Definitely a great wine but not really pushing by buttons tonight.

Nose of apple, peach, and lemon curd. Crisp, with great acidity and just a touch of sweetness. Drink now through 2020.
